RNA - Addressing a huge gathering of Iranian people in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said "some of the Zionists have said that given the results of the nuclear negotiations (between Tehran and the world powers), they have been relieved of concerns about Iran for 25 years, but we tell them that basically, you will not see the next 25 years and with God's grace, nothing under the name of the Zionist regime will exist in the region by then."

He added that the heroic spirit and morale of Muslim fighters will not let the Zionists feel comfort and tranquility in the next 25 years.

Elsewhere, Ayatollah Khamenei explained that an example of Washington’s unrelenting hostility towards the Iranian nation is that they began to think of plots in the Congress to put obstacles in the way of Iran after finalization of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), whose fate the Leader said is still unclear in Iran and the US.

The Leader also hailed late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini for branding the US “Great Satan”, saying that while Satan resorts to seduction and deception, America uses not only seduction and deception but killing, sanctions, and hypocrisy as well.

The only way for ending the US plots is reinforcement of Iran’s national might, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out, saying the country should get so powerful as to make “the Great Satan” give up hope  about the efficiency of its hostility.

Imam Khamenei then explained that gaining national might requires three main qualities: “robust and resisting economy, advanced and growing science, as well as preserving and strengthening the revolutionary morale, specifically among the youth.”

The Supreme Leader further warned against the US policies to gain a foothold in Iran, describing the Americans’ attempts to hold talks with Iran as an excuse to infiltrate into the country and impose the White House’s demands on the Islamic Republic.

Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated that Iran agreed to negotiate with the US only on the nuclear issue, stressing that no talks will be held with Americans on any other subject.

“We, however, favor negotiations… with all countries, except the Greta Satan, at different levels of government, ethnicities and religions.”
